Nanzhuang Jade Emperor Temple (Fourth Batch Provincial Protected Site)
Era: Jin, Ming, Qing Dynasties
Address: Nanzhuang Village, Hexi Town, Gaoping City
Established in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was later renovated during the Tang Xiantian era and the Jin Da’an period, with additional repairs carried out in the Ming Hongzhi era. The temple faces south and is divided into upper and lower courtyards. Existing structures include the mountain gate, offering hall, main hall, east and west side halls, wing rooms, and a dance stage. The main hall is a remnant of the Jin Dynasty, while the rest date to the Ming and Qing periods.
The main hall is built on a 70-centimeter-high platform, featuring a three-bay width and six-rafter depth, with a single-eave hanging gable roof. Its bracket sets are of the through type, with single-layered eaves and brackets extending outwards. The wooden structure above the columns is relatively intact.
The temple preserves one Jin Dynasty stone stele and one Qing Dynasty restoration stele.
